First Class Accommodation

Overview:Kapitea Ridge is set high on a hill above the sweeping coastline of the West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand, and offers stylish, luxury lodge accommodation within 22 hectares of land and manicured gardens.

With lowland rainforest, wild beaches and the unspoilt nature of the rugged West Coast as a backdrop, the lodge boldly reflects the spirit and adventure of the area with vibrant colour and modern design. Rich greens and ocean blues are the theme of the main sitting room that features a great curved window looking over lush gardens to the Tasman Sea. To the right, the coastland stretches are far as the eye can see. The dining area is located here, and outside a panoramic terrace features an open-air fireplace and barbecue that’s used all year round. Guests can sit here and watch the world's first sunset of the day.

The luxuriously decorated guestrooms feature the colours of the seas and mountains in luscious fabrics and handcrafted native timber, and in all the rooms, sophisticated artwork supporting young local artists, reminds you of the West Coast's long tradition of creativity.

There's plenty to see and do, from the world renowned local white-water kayaking or fly-fishing, to reliving the Gold Rush Days at Shantytown, or discovering Ruby Rock and jade jewellery in Hokitika.
